Read reviews about Ella McBella:

Laura Pells taps into an intense fear… this book really stands out in the crowded field of children’s literature. The lyrical, rhythmic narrative is fun and engaging, with sublime, full-color hand-drawn artistry. All of these brilliant elements come together perfectly to turn Ella, her fear, and her small acts of courage into a fantastic read. Very highly recommended. – Jamie Michele (Readers Favorite 5 Stars)

A charming story about a little girl and the monsters that go bump in the night, keeping her awake, too frightened to sleep. Beautifully told with care and compassion and lovely, colorful illustrations. – Emily-Jane Hills Orford (Readers Favorite 5 Stars)

Beautifully illustrated lyrical children’s story about empowering oneself to find a solution to an age-old fear; the dark and what it might hold. I appreciated how the book encourages children to use their imaginations to problem-solve and see things from a different, more positive perspective. – Susan Sewell (Readers Favorite 5 Stars)
